Agreed. Their cause sucked and they were traitors. But they fought pretty hard none the less. And the North driving Old Dixie Down was about the most righteous thing this country has ever done.AZDuck said:
Fuck the Confederacy. Treason in defense of slavery.YellowSnow said:
From a raw statistical standpoint - in this case military age men killed in war, per capita - they are the greatest generation of Americans and it's not even close. If you want a Tuff SEC/ACC type stat, consider that no other nation in modern history - except for Serbia in WWI - lost a higher percentage of their military age men in war than the CSA did from 1861- 65. Not Russia in WWI or WWII. Not France in the Napoleonic Wars and WWI. Not Germany or Japan, etc, etc, ec.BearsWiin said:

I like the CSA because they had a dope flag and stood up and died for what they believe in, which is more than any of you can say. I don't even think slavery is that bad as long as it's not just blacks being slaves.
Gonna disagree with race saying millennials aren't #1 all time. We started facebook and dub step. That's way better than winning a war (or losing as in the boomers' case) and smart of us not to die in combat. We are advanced. -

There's some disagreement, but many place the divide at Dec 31, 1980. The Winklevii are in the gray area.PurpleThrobber said:

Per your link:Many researchers and demographers continue to use dates which correspond to the strict fertility patterns in the population, which results in a Generation X starting date of 1965, such as Pew Research Center which uses a range of 1965–1980,[13] MetLife which uses 1965–1976,[3] Australia’s McCrindle Research Center which uses 1965–1979,[14] and Gallup which also uses 1965–1979.[15]
Seems that the majority would place the tWinklevosses' as Millenials.
Author Jeff Gordinier, in his 2008 book X Saves the World, defines Generation X as those born roughly between 1961–1977 but possibly as late as 1980.[20] Canadian author and professor David Foot divides the post-boomer generation into two groups: Generation X, born between 1960 and 1966; and the "Bust Generation", born between 1967 and 1979, In his book Boom Bust & Echo: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Shift. -

Some would place me as a Boomer too but fuck those guys.
Unless it can be proven the Winklevi' played in an AAU travel team, I can't endorse them as Millenials at all.

Yes, dope flag. And they were some tuff motherfuckers fighting for what they believed in. But their cause was not just; state's right my ass. Most poor white guys that fought for the CSA didn't own slaves but they sure as hell dreamed of owning them one day and were fighting to preserve that system.PurpleJ said:I like the CSA because they had a dope flag and stood up and died for what they believe in, which is more than any of you can say.

Latitude didn't have much to do with loyalties. Most Hawaiians sympathized with the North. Whalers sailed out of New England and not the dirty south. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_and_the_American_Civil_WarGrundleStiltzkin said:

There's no fucking way anyone born in 1980 counts as a millennial. I was born in 84 and I'm barely on the edge of being millennial. It is a complete and total misunderstanding of what defines the generation. The cut off is 9/11. If you weren't in high school or younger when 9/11 happened you don't get to be a millennial. Winkelvoss twins, fuck outta here.

Millenials didn't have Nokia bricks or VHS tapes. Shit, most of them don't even know what CDs are.
And they sure as shit never had to rough it on 56k modem dial up internet. -

I had all those things. Napster was 6th grade or so. And it was still dial up. And I'm 88.
I got a Nokia brick in 7th grade.
I think people without those things are really late millennials and beginning of new generation.
Millennials out of college now. -
